When sourcing items, she especially loves the ones that give back, whether it be to the community, local artists, or the Earth. “I focus on choosing products that make me feel good at the end of the day. It’s not perfect, but I try to make those choices,” she says. Emerald Tree Boutique opened in November of 2019—not long before the pandemic hit. “I am really happy to be here after that,” she says.

One of the shop’s main goals, however, is to serve as a safe and welcoming place for all guests that walk in. “People can be different, but our hearts are all the same,” she says, “and I wanted to create a space where we can connect. It’s a happy space, and everyone’s invited.” When it comes to future goals for the shop, Wood-McClung would love to open up more space for a personal studio, giving her the A Happy Space Emerald Tree Boutique in Davis fosters connections while offering unique items that give back.
